Depends on what particularly you wish to use GnuPG for.  By and large,
GnuPG is used for the OpenPGP.  PKCS-12 files (.p12) are not used in
OpenPGP.

Recent versions of GnuPG support S/MIME, which *may* use PKCS-12.  (I
don't recall offhand for a fact: I just have a vague impression they
do... or maybe it's PKCS-7 I'm thinking of.)

Basically, are you looking to use GnuPG for OpenPGP support or for
S/MIME support?  If the answer is "OpenPGP" or "neither", then you
probably need to rethink your plan of using PKCS-12 files.
